[Q] Vodafone SGS2 with TPG/Optus Sim - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have an unlocked AU vodafone SGS2 and am using my TPG $1 plan simcard.
I have found when using TPG sim I can only obtain download speeds of 10KB/s however on Voda sim I can get in excess of 300KB/s. I get 3G signal on TPG sim, I can still make and receive calls - just data is the issue.
AFAIK, I am using correct respective APN settings. My question is - is there some sort of hardware difference in the SGS2 which is making my TPG/Optus sim data extremely slow/limited?
Cheers all.

[Q] 3G Flyer on AU Three sim roams to Telstra network

Hello everyone,
I have recently purchased a 3G Flyer in Asia (Taiwan). The device has been s-offed and rooted with the latest FlyHigh rom 1.1 installed.
My problem at the moment is with the SIM network carrier. I have an Australian 3 sim card which i am using on the Flyer right now, however the flyer connects to the Telstra carrier network and seems to be in roaming mode. I have checked the carrier settings and only Telstra is available.
I would really appreciate if someone on the forum could explain to me why i am having this problem and if there are any possible solutions to this.
Regards
Steve

[Q] Roaming Network Problem

Hi,

what can i do to see more networks on my photon?? i need receive calls from mex on this phone..

You need to flash the kddi radio. That should fix your roaming issues. After that you need to set the mobile network to GSM only

[Q] No 3G access on vodafone in India on my unlocked US AT&T SGS2

Hello,
I am currently using Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777. This is been unlocked with the code provided by AT&T. After unlock I am able to use the phone with my Vodafone IN sim with the 3G connection. Recently around 3 weeks back, I have upgraded the mobile from 4.0.3 to 4.1.2 via kies. Currently it is in I777UCMD8 band and Kernel version as 3.0.31-1154545-user [email protected] #3.
Since firmware upgrade, I am unable to use the phone with 3G.
The mobile network connection is not consistent, and unable to make or receive any calls.
I did some search in the forums and came across the code *#2263#. using this I selected the band as GSM only and i am able to have continuously, and able to receive and make the calls.
I tried out inserting another vodafone 3g sim and able to use the 3g and continuous signal on my mobile, where it is not working with my sim.
I tried out my sim in another 3g phone and was able to have access the 3g and continuous signal.
I have replaced my sim couple of times, and even that didn't worked for me.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna.

Honor 7 - Dual SIM with Dual Data connection 4g/3g

Hi Lads,
I bought an Honor 7 EU, because it was the only one can run two SIM connected to 4G and 3G at the same time also with active data connection. The only limit is that the first SIM must be connected to 4G to allow second SIM linking to 3G networks.
I saw the review on an Italian Blog (by A.Galeazzi on HDBlog) were the phone was on 4G on SIM1, and 3G on SIM2 and was explained also a sort of download boosters which use the two data networks simultaneously.
Unfortunately for me (ut of the box with release b100 and later with updated b121) the phone has always been connected to 2G networks on SIM2.
On a side note, I have a Wind Plan in Italy, that is correctly connecting to 4G Networks, while the second SIM is 3IRL which theoretically should connect to a 3G network Three UK/ITA. Unfortunately the issue is that the second SIM is roaming not on 3 sister Network but in 2G on a different network.
This for me is a big deal because with 3 IRL I have free calls and sms even when roaming (3 Like Home), as long as the phone is connected to a sister network (ergo 3ITA or 3UK). I use 3IRL for work, this means i'm an heavy users, so it is vital that the second SIM is on a sister network (3Italy/3UK) to avoid crazy roaming charges.
By the way, on the SIM 1, I would also like to have the data from Wind Italy in 4G, when staying in Italy, so I can get connected to 4G network in Italy and UK and Ireland.
How can I fix? Anyone out there who can help or point me in the right directon?

Have you found a solution ? I have two 3UK sim cards and can't use them both, have to switch between them. Please let me know, thanks!

Are you sure this is the case? As far as a I knew the Honor 7 EU can run one SIM on 3G/4G and the other on 2G only when both SIM's are in the phone at the same time. It's the Chinese version which allows 3G/4g on both SIM's at once (and has 64GB internal storage). I could be wrong but I'm sure someone else can clarify.

never had two sim in my eu honor, but only one sim can do 4g, and the other i think it is 3g and not 2g
correct me i am wrong
Any updates on this? Can any phone actually run 3G/4G or at least 3G/3G at the same time? (or full autoswitch on call to 3G?)
I'm interested in the voice part only, for both cards to be 3G, without having to manually switch. 4G/3G would be a bonus

how tell you Chinese version allows 3G/4g on both SIM's at once ( I have 64GB internal storage ) this not correct. the chinese version the same EU version not diffecult .
I have this problem. SIM1 connected 4G, SIM2 can only use 2G. Phone was bought in Beijing. Settings allow you to make either one of them but not both triband.
Second SIM is not connecting properly unless i switch the setting to allow SIM2 slot to be triband enabled. Then i get on, but the SIM1 becomes useless for data.

Duel SIM UK ultra on AT&T

I purchased this phone unlocked from EE. I use it with eSIM on Vodafone UK no problem. In SIM 1 slot I have a US AT&T card and SD in slot 2.
My problem is that when I'm in the US I only get H+ on the AT&T SIM but I get 4G on my Vodafone SIM that is roaming on the AT&T network.
I've gone on the AT&T website to get the APN settings but APN type says "default,mms,supl,hipri" but I don't have the option to select default, supl or hiring.
Does anyone have the answer. I know there is an option to use Vodafone for data but I'm trying to ration it because there is a roaming limit.
